Tho Clinton Enterprise.

~NS SAAnsSn ShsofptAbo
We ask pardon of the Editors and Proprie-
tors Of this new and excellent journal, publish
ed at the enterprising and progressive town
of Clinton, in Laurens, for neglectine to notice
its appearance in our santum. Coming to us
as it does, the day after the TINES is issued
ii was laid aside for q notice tnext week, but
got buried up among the accumulated exchang-
es and was, overlooked. 1t is nm excellent
journal, printed IN fine style and edited with
ability by Prof. j. d. PARROT, who was once
the principal of the West Springs school, in
this County, and Mr.. w. T. Crews, son of our
good friend, T. u. Crews of the Laurensvilo
Herald
Clinton is growing town, and its citizens
are enterprising and pushing, aud we sec no
reason why tho Enterprise should not be
success. We can safely warn the business
men of Clinton that if they do not support the
Enterprise under its present worthy and able
management, they will never have so good Il
paper published thcrc nftcrward.
g0~ The following contradictory statsme nts
of two respectable newspapers published in tho
good old town of Camden, must be fun for those
who persistently contend that newspapers
will e''-under great mistakes sometimes:
TELLING ALREADY.--The merchants of Cam
den are already beginning to realize the bene-
fits accruing to business by the building Of the
3 G II. r. One firm sold over $500 worth Of
goods to q railroad man last Tuesday; another
| another sold over $50 worth; and sew
eral stores in town receive from $50 to 5000
per week for goods sold to workmcn engaged
| on the road. 1t is beginning 10 tell on bust
| ness already, and will continue with increas-
| ing perceptibility as the weeks roll by.-Rer-
| shdw Gazette.
WHAT BECOMES OF lT9--Well, work on the
| new road has been going on now for more
| than month aud the weekly payment to en-
ployecs will we understand, run from $500 to
500, but thus far we have failed to find any
one who says that there is any more money in
circulation than usual. AS matter of fact, q
| majority of the business men assert that they
have never before seen money scarcer than it
| is now; the cash trade was never more limited
than it is ut this time, and to take it oil in all,
| they are mystified as to what becomes of the
outside cash that is paid to the hands on the
| new road each week. The question is, .'What
becomes of the money" ."--Cdmden Journal.
EaS- We have received copy Of the Prem
ium List of the State Agricultural and Mechan-
cal Society for the Nineteenth Agricultural
Fair, to be held at Columbia next November,
commencing on Tuesday, the 9Th
| The list of premiums is very liberal and EN-.
braces everything of any importance in Agri-
culture, Horticulture, Domestic Economy,
Mechanics, the Arts and Sciences, and all
kindred industries.
The pamphlet is printed in excellent style by
Charles A. Calvo, Jr., of Columbia, and In that
| respect is certainly a great improvement upon
nearly oil the premium lists heretofore gotten
up by the Society. We have often thought
that pamphlets for such occasions should be
printed in the finest style of typography, as
pecimens Of the excellence Of work. in that
particular industry, that could be done in the
State, instead of the sloveuly and poverty
stricken work they usually present.

known in this community, died last Wednes.

Miss Graham always expressed great dread
of measles and all her life avoided contact with

eeptibilty and danger Of persons taking Ger.
tain diseases Of which they arc continually in
dread.
Hay- The reports to the daily pross Of tn q
State, upon the condition of the crops, are
very cheering In sections Of the lowe,
counties they have not suffered q lay fol
want of rain, consequently the crops have
grown off finely, but in most of the upper
